Task: 6 Year: 2004 Assistance: 27.09 Deadline: 11.10
Task 1: “Gibb’s Phase Rule”
a) Develop the Phase Rule on the basis of number of independent variables and number of equations in a PVT system consisting of m chemical components that distribute across phases that are in equilibrium (the system is assumed to be non-reacting).
b) Show that the maximum number of co-existing phases in equilibrium is 3 for a PVT system consisting of only one chemical component.
Task 2: “Thermodynamic Functions”
a) Show that for a reversible and isothermal process in a closed PVT system, the work can be expressed by using the Helmholtz function: W = - dA
b) Show that for a reversible, isothermal and isobaric process in a closed PVT system, the work can be expressed in the following way: W = - dG + PdV
Task 3: “Van der Waal’s Equation of State”
One would like to find expressions for the two parameters (a) and (b) in Van der Waal’s cubic equation of state:
P = RT / (V – b) - a / V2
by using the following conditions that should apply at critical point:
( P / V ) T, Critical Point = 0
( 2P / V2 ) T, Critical Point = 0
What is the compressibility in the critical point ?
Task 4: “Simple Models for K-values”
Develop a very simple model for K-values in gas/liquid equilibrium when we assume that Raoult’s law and Dalton’s law apply. Assume that an equation is available for calculating the vapor pressure for a chemical component as a function of temperature.
